I laughed after 42 days. Professional volleyball Korea Electric Power Co. escaped from a 9-game losing streak.
KEPCO won with a set score of 3-2 (25-21, 22-25, 25-23, 23-25, 16-14) in the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Round 4 men’s match held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 10th. . The triangular formation of Thais Dulle Host (25 points), Seo Jae-deok (17 points), and Lim Seong-jin (16 points) flew splendidly.
KEPCO (7 wins, 13 losses, 23 points) escaped from a 9-game losing streak, enjoying the joy of victory 42 days after the second round match against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance on November 29 last year. Woori Card (11 wins, 9 losses, 30 points) recorded two consecutive losses. The season record was 2 wins and 2 losses.
KEPCO steadily led from the beginning of the first set. Although Tais committed 4 mistakes, he steadily scored with a counterattack after effective blocking that made use of his strength, height. Woori Card struggled with Agamez and Na Gyeong-bok, but continued to catch up with Park Jun-hyeok’s central attack. Blocking, a strength of KEPCO, also broke out well and won.
The second set was the opposite flow. Na Kyung-bok’s spikes burst one after another, bringing atmosphere. Libero Jae-seong Oh also received short serves well, allowing setter Hwang Seung-bin to utilize various attack routes. KEPCO had a good receive, but the attack success rate was lower than the first set.
Kim Ji-han, who was replaced, also shone. In 18-21, Na Kyung-bok touched Seo Jae-deok’s spike, ran over the net and passed it to the court. Oh Jae-seong pushed the ball long underhand, and no KEPCO players received it, so it was a goal. Then, Kim Ji-han’s serve ace exploded, and the weight of the match slanted to Woori Card.
In the third set, the young players of both teams flew wildly. In our card, Kim Ji-han, who was put in as a substitute, hit Kang Spike. For Woori Card, setter Ha Seung-woo created a one-on-one chance for Lim Seong-jin in succession, and Lim Seong-jin scored 메이저사이트. It was KEPCO that laughed in the last fight. Seongjin Lim succeeded in attacking on 23-23, and Jihan Kim’s attack was blocked by Geunho Cho.
Woori Card shook KEPCO with Kang Serve in 4 sets. Kim Ji-han and Agamez steadily increased their scores, widening the gap. But Im Seong-jin exploded. In 16-21, Lim Seong-jin’s strong serve led to a tie by scoring 5 consecutive points. However, with Na Kyung-bok’s quick open and Park Jun-hyeok’s blocking, Woori Card took a two-point lead again.
In the 5th set, Woori Card increased its momentum with Agamez’s serve. In 9-7, after Hwang Seung-bin’s dig, Na Kyung-bok hit the open to create a three-point gap. However, the fighting spirit of KEPCO players to escape the losing streak shone. After Woori Card’s consecutive mistakes, Ha Seung-woo blocked Na Kyung-bok’s open attack and made it 13-13. As the two teams exchanged serving offenses, the match went to deuce.
KEPCO, who made a 15-14 match point with Woori Card’s catch ball, finished the game with Shin Young-seok blocking Na Gyeong-bok’s attack. Woori Card requested a net touch video reading, but the result did not change.
KEPCO coach Kwon Young-min said, “I was moved to tears because the players worked hard on the court to overcome it. Thank you to the players. It was difficult, but the players did not give up.” It would have been more difficult,” he laughed.
Regarding the situation where he was dragged to 10-13, he explained, “In my heart, I kept thinking that I could catch it. Then, he praised, “I made a 20-20 in the practice situation and practiced. I think that helped. Seong-jin also received well. If Seong-jin plays well, the hyungs will send their faith.”
Woori Card coach Shin Yeong-cheol said after the game, “Na Gyeong-bok and Agamez both had body aches, so they came after receiving intravenous injections. They were not feeling well, but the players did well until the end.”
After the game, the Woori Card players all went to the referee and protested. This is because the catch ball was declared in a situation where the ball was lifted with one hand. Director Shin said, “I hit it with one hand, but in a pinch situation, I decided that it wasn’t clear in the technical meeting, but it’s a pity. Because the referees judge differently from the technical meeting, the coaches protest.”
